[QUOTE=icaka;705332]I'd say "N85" is in fact N60... makes sense to me.

where did you get that N60???
btw Nokia is ending the numbers of Nseries from 70 to 100 so maybe new naming is coming out

Razer

Maybe new series or N70 classic etc.

[QUOTE=mtomczak;705669]
No, no, that was just a joke about N85 being too mid-endish for the "N85" name, which btw it won't possess in the final version. Calling it "N85" was just a mistake by the bloggers. And N60 sounds pretty low-end, doesn't it?

Finally Nokia is entering the touch screen devices market very very very powerful!!!

Prepare for many announcements regarding this issue.

Nokia is going to offer many, really many phones with touch screens in many forms in all categories. From mid-end smart phones to high end.

Also S60 5th edition is getting a major facelift, new icons, new animations, new navigation.

The big party starts this fall and will continue in 2009

I am very sure Eldar can confirm the above as well

Itachi

Tube isnt even their flagship but even then it wont be until their 3rd or so device they will probably be able to match iphones performance. Those S60 concept videos look ok but its just Nokia running scared from iphone. Its just plain S60 but with a touch screen. Thats the difference between that and iphone. With tube you will look at some action and just say thats nice but with iphone its a whole different experience due to how advanced it is.

chlettn

Uchiha Sasuke, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla...

How about waiting for some facts before you predict something you just can't know?

Itachi

Didnt Nokia show us S60 touch on that tablet some months ago? So that was just a concept joke was it?Ok.

nMIK-3

iPhone performance???

HAHA. That was really the joke of the day.

Performance on what???
Locked Bluetooth.
No video recording.
Crappy 2MP camera.
No MMS
NO A2DP for stereo Bluetooth
No Copy/Paste
No Front Video Camera
i can keep going all day

Don't but what exactly you refer as iPhone performance??Don't get me wrong iPhone has amazing screen and amazing multi-touch technology but that's all about it.

What you show in that demostration was S60 3rd edition with touch abilities renamed to S60 5th edition.
As I said the S60 will get a major facelift just wait and you will see.

Itachi

Exactly.

It may be lacking in some features no one is disputing that but for what it does it is still yet to be matched and based on what we have seen from Nokia they wont be in the near future either.

Um ok.

chlettn

Uchiha Sasuke, are you really that dense that you think a prototype of something that has at least another 10 months of development time and is running on an emulator does reflect the end product in every detail?

Or are you just PO'ed that you killed off the iPhone thread and this is your way of venting?

bond

Uchiha Sasuke is becoming iPhone's Ronka

Itachi

Im just comparing like for like features for what we have seen so far and so far as a touch screen device S60 doesnt really look like anything new other than just S60 on a touch screen rather than what iphone is: A whole new revolutionary experience.

Ooh I wouldnt go that far. I still have my eyes set on a 6220 as a 2nd phone.

chlettn

Yeah. That's quite simply spot-on.

bond

Glad to hear that

It says that N85's got a 3.2in display in 360x640 resolution.
Can anyone confirm this?

btw, i've already found a mistake in the information - the phone doesn't have a xenon flash.

Rahvin

Offtopic
You have just said the iphones 'awesome performances'
Just another TS phone....

ONtopic
5pteron, I don't trust that site. I would trust something like GSMarena, phonearena or MR.
Can anyone tell me if there's any s40 device with GPS?

chlettn

Apparently there will be some in the future:
http://forum2.mobile-review.com/show...postcount=5051
Right now, there are none, though. You could use a BT GPS accessoire in combination with the 6600's series, but that's about it...

tkno

lol.

you have a contagious disease. diagnostics here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_distortion_field

lightindark

Can you say anything about the screens? Will they be the shi**y pressure sensitive screens or will they be nice and solid like the iPhone's glass screen?

iqtidar

one thing i can say is dat dont trust it. it is a malaysian site.

Razer

Thats what people who have seen it said.The phone that was leaked is not the N85 thats something else.

Rahvin

All right thanks.
So I am still waiting for a s40 GPS phone.

NokiaPort.de

its crap

Ruhul

I wonder, why eldar told n85 has widescreen?

sms

because the spyshot we saw wasn't for the n85

Razer

Exactly what I said.
LOL.Others including Eldar said that.

kflyer

Like I mentioned previously, there are no official signs on the device that it's N85. Let me tell what I think.. This N00 would be a prototype that will never see the sun. However, it seems that nMIK-3 and chlettn have seen something new recently.

Freddo

It's also possible that the model numbers has changed for whatever reason. The early prototype photos of the N95 said it was N83.

Super Chimp

To be fair on this issue nMIK-3 above post did sound a little like an announcement on behalf of the Nokia PR department. I don't like to see hyperbole posted on here whatever company it concerns.

chlettn

Super Chimp, I doubt that any real info is behind that mentioned post...

And anyway, that has little to do with the fact that a short video about a rather early SW prototype that doesn't even run on real hardware is a poor way to assess the performance of an upcoming UI, don't you agree?

Viipottaja

Nokiaport.de, ok, none of that eye winking please: so what is it actually?

birdwatcher

New E71 Pics:

http://www.rafiton.com/2008/06/nokia...-and-pictures/

What's with the color?

And some sample pics:

http://www.rafiton.com/2008/06/nokia-e71-sample-photos/

chlettn

birdwatcher, thanks!

That think looks really small compared to its older siblings...



...and almost ridiculously thin against the three other devices.



Picture quality seems pretty terrible though

NokiaPort.de

oh oh, do not misunderstand, just my habit to color my post with some smilies
there are many specs listet which never can be true, so this source is acutely unserieos

birdwatcher

Very thin! I have an E61i and that picture may force me to upgrade.

Is this the first we have seen of this lighter color?

alastiar

Ew. It'd better if they come in black, plum or brown.

Mweb

Yours truly is off to the launch event in London on monday, so does anyone have any specific queries that you might ask me to obtain for you ?.

Yes!

Will the North American version be released at the same time as the Euro version?

AT&T is rumored to be getting the E71. What differences with that version have (crippled WiFi, GPS services, etc)?

Does anyone want to buy my E61i

lightindark

When will we see a proper successor to the N95?

Dogmann

Hi Mweb

Have a great time and all and any information will be greatly appreciated, i suppose the only real question is seeing it's so slim is how many can you get in our picket and leave with,LOL

@US

As said by others i really don't see how you can judge the S60 Touch UI from what was only a proof of concept video. I am pretty sure that Nokia will give us all we are used to from S60 as they have already stated backwards compatibility for previous S60 apps. As to how good the actual interface will be at this stage no one knows for sure. But i am sure many will take function of having the prettiest UI as for most that is far more important and most certainly is for me.

I will always take function over form and just because something looks great if it doesn't function well enough it not very relevant is it.

Marc

Viipottaja

Mweb, do you have a confirmation of which devices will be launched on Monday?

Mweb

No, it's kinda taken as read that it's E71, but you never know, I'm under the impression that there are no announcements planned until Q4, so i'm really hoping there might be a surprise or two in store.
I'll try and twist a few arms to see if i can screw some N85,TS info out of them

The build quality, I would like to hear how well constructed both phones are. As far as high end Nokia devices are now concerned this is the question I always like to hear answered first.

Anyway good luck with your day out.

Awesome_Aleks

The E71 and E66 will be announced according to the review's on this website

It would be nice if there were more but I just can't imagine that happening on an E-Series day unless it was just a general Nokia event

FastLaneJB

I think I've said this before but I'll say it again along with a little bit extra on my thoughts on this.

First of all Nokia showed S60 Touch and it had an amazing interface, it was a true iPhone competitor. It had cool features like being able to flip the phone over 180 degrees on a table to silence it. It truly was Nokia taking it to the next level. It looked in my opinion to be better than what the iPhone offers as it would at least be similar to it's easy to use and futuristic UI yet hopefully still pack in all of Nokia's hardware features.

Then however they demoed Touch on a PC / Tablet. Regardless of how far they are on, how it might change it was a disappointing demo. It was nothing that was demoed before and instead was the same old S60 with touch support, that was it. Why demo it in the first place?

Now I have a theory on this. The S60 with the new UI will be called S60 5.0. It however isn't ready yet and won't be for a bit. It's the UI that Eldar said his daughter can use really easily. Easy to use phone UI's are important, a lot of people struggle to find options and operate the more complex features of their phones. It'll come but not in time for Tube.

For Tube Nokia will use S60 3rd Edition FP3. It'll be the same as FP2 + touch controls (And probably a few other tweaks of course). Instead of waiting for the new UI to come, Nokia feels they need to enter the touch screen market sooner rather than later. So it's a stop gap solution until the real UI comes along to combat the growing number of TS models.

If it's anything like the first video then it's going to be really good and I'm looking forward to it. Touchscreen UI's is where the development is going to go at present, maybe it won't last but it's the short term future if you ask me. Even if it makes up a small percentage of sales, it's where you'll gain good press and boost your brand if you have a high profile TS device.

Now this is all just my opinion, I'm no insider. It could well be why the Tube isn't an N series device because it's not the real answer to the iPhone. I know they say of a higher end model (Features wise) coming shortly after but if it doesn't have the new UI it's not the real answer either.

Like Dogmann, I would find it hard to go back to a device with a smaller screen when I browse so much. So future devices for me will need to be touchscreen or like the E90 as well. So for those of you who don't want one of these larger devices, don't browse on them for too long because it spoils you

kflyer

Good idea FastLaneJB.

ritz@98925

Can you check if e71 will officially( Nokia BBC E71 specific client) support BBC or we will have to do with the E90 BBC client?
Thanks

lloydie2005

i think nokia are going to focus on mail for exchange rather than BBC. the E51 shows that clearly. because there isnt a proper BBC version available since firmware 2.xx release.
